The New York Giants have signed former Houston Texans quarterback Tyrod Taylor to a two-year, $17 million contract, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
It’s a hefty contract for a backup quarterback, which may mean the Giants have a short leash on starting quarterback Daniel Jones heading into 2022. Taylor had a solid start to the season with Houston, but a hamstring strain and a wrist injury kept him sidelined for a combined 11 weeks.
This signing likely means one of Mike Glennon or Jake Fromm will be gone shortly.
